Good Morning on the Yakima

Rob invited Rick to join him on a guided morning float on the Yakima for a delayed Fourth of July Celebration. With a scheduled early morning start, we spent the night before in a hotel in Ellensburg and had an evening warmup at the Fighting Rainbow Club. Action wasn't fast or furious at the Club but we found a few including this nice one that Rick caught trolling a tarpon fly (yea, you know action isn't that great when you start trolling tropical flies for trout...)

The next day on the Yak was better, guided by our friend Shan, who put us into a good number of fish including this fat 20-inch rainbow that we all watched slowly rise from the depths to engulf the fly. 

It was a typical Yakima day, with fast action interspersed with fishless intervals casting to banks that look just like the one the produced fish just a little ways upstream. Rob and I each had some nice fish along with quite a few smaller one to keep things interesting. Thanks for the trip, Rob!
